CHAPTER 892: CHAPTER 888: PICKING PEACHES

Even though Wu Ding looks about thirty years old, and is of the stunningly beautiful type, her age is undeniable. Moreover, she has some unclear relationship with Zhuo Junwu, which makes her Ye Fan’s "half teacher’s wife".

Flirting with the teacher’s wife? That’s quite a bit too much of a joke.

"May I ask, Senior Sister, how old are you this year?" Ye Fan asked bluntly.

Wu Ding’s face didn’t look very pleased. In this respect, whether it’s an ordinary woman or a woman cultivating immortality, they all consider their age an unspeakable secret. She replied sourly: "Just like your master, can’t say anything pleasant. Senior Sister is indeed a bit older than you, but I remain unmarried. Besides... after we cultivators reach the Golden Core Stage, does age matter that much? If compared to mortal women, I’m only in my twenties, don’t I match well with you?"

As she spoke, her eyes glanced over at Ye Fan, as if saying, "You are a lone wolf too, why not make do with each other."

Ye Fan suddenly seemed to understand why Zhuo Junwu didn’t choose this woman, because she’s too adept at exploiting men’s weaknesses, and speaks with some spicy innuendo. Despite knowing him for only a few days, she’s already started "flirting" with him.

"I appreciate Senior Sister’s good intentions, but I only have my wife in my heart." Ye Fan firmly stated his position.

Even a great beauty’s expression can fall, and eventually, Wu Ding sighed and said, "Alright, come with me."

Later, when arranging Ye Fan’s accommodation and training place, it was all business-like. After settling in, Wu Ding said: "In the Tianxuan Sect’s inner sect, except for you, all are above the Golden Core Stage. You need to complete Foundation Establishment as soon as possible and reach the initial Golden Core. There’s an orchard on the back mountain, and your body still needs some food supplement. If you’re hungry, go pick some yourself. I’ve brought you here; if anything comes up, go find your master. I don’t come up to the mountain all the time."

Ye Fan is currently at the late Foundation Establishment stage, and his body basically doesn’t require food, drink, or waste. He wasn’t too concerned and saluted, saying, "Farewell, Senior Sister."

Wu Ding gave him a look, saying, "You’re truly a little ungrateful, sending me off so quickly. Won’t you ask me about the Tianxuan Sect’s cultivation methods, or when your Senior Sister Wu Ning will return from the mountain?"

Ye Fan naturally shook his head, as even though he was temporarily named a disciple of the Tianxuan Sect, he did not plan to practice its methods.

"Suit yourself!" Wu Ding hurried down the mountain, apparently busy with her daily information gathering tasks. As a Tianxuan Sect elder, she had to contribute appropriately to the sect. In the end, she never mentioned her actual age.

Ye Fan sat down to cultivate, what he needed to do was quickly master the second level of the "Nine Yang Divine Skill". In the Pan Gu Secret Realm, he realized a problem: in the month he’d spent on Earth, Li Zhaojun had already been in the secret realm for a year. If Li Zhaojun’s cultivation advanced rapidly, he would fall greatly behind. Given the "********" blocks the seven emotions and six desires, it would be hard to open Li Zhaojun’s heart.

By then, he would fail miserably just short of success.

The spiritual energy around was abundant, very beneficial for training the next levels of the "Nine Yang Divine Skill". After meditating and training for five or six days, he hadn’t noticed time passing and opened his eyes for the first time. At that moment, he did feel a bit hungry.

"I should quickly reach the Golden Core Stage; otherwise, even matters of food and drink will waste my cultivation time."

Outside the window, the sun was shining brightly. He prepared to go to the back mountain to pick fruit to satisfy his hunger. Before he could leave, he heard "drip-drip-drop, drip-drip-drop" sounds. It turned out that little sister Qing Xu was tidying up the huge rocks that had fallen into the courtyard from the sky.

Ye Fan opened the door and saw the little girl happily singing while using her terrifying strength to lift several large rocks and throw them dozens of meters away, with the rocks landing on the mountainside.

After clearing all the rocks, the little girl clapped her hands, turned around, and saw Ye Fan. She hopped over, looked up at Ye Fan, and said, "Hey, why are you so tall?"

This question was somewhat difficult to answer, as Ye Fan had a bit of affection for this little girl. He smiled and said, "You’ll be as tall as me when you grow up."

"Liar. I see even Senior Sister Wu Ding isn’t as tall as you. Master said that girls are generally not taller than boys." Qing Xu seriously considered master’s words, then pondered, "What exactly is the difference between girls and boys?"

No matter how terrifying her strength, she hadn’t been taught anything beyond cultivation. It wasn’t easy for her to even know there’s a gender division in this world.

Ye Fan shook his head, indicating he couldn’t answer the question.

"Hmph, you know but won’t tell me, as if I’ll never find out. Hey, inside, Senior Sister Wu Ding asked me to teach you the Foundation Establishment method. With your qualifications and cultivation, you should complete Foundation Establishment in a few days." The little girl was a bit angry with Ye Fan but was a responsible little junior sister and came to teach Ye Fan the cultivation method.

Ye Fan shook his head slightly and said, "If Junior Sister is to teach, please wait a moment. I’m a bit hungry; could you take me to the back mountain to pick some fruit?"

"No way!" The little girl refused Ye Fan’s request decisively, "Those fruits are all mine. Master told me that except for me, no one else is allowed to touch them!"

She was a little girl with a sense of ownership. Previously, it was hers because she was the only one in the inner sect who hadn’t reached the Golden Core Stage and needed food and drink. Fruits were wonderful, solving hunger and thirst at the same time, with no need to cook or fetch water to the mountain.

"Could Junior Sister be a little lenient? Aren’t you beyond needing food?"

"Who said I don’t need it? I often steal a couple myself." Qing Xu’s eyes twinkled as if she had an idea, and with a mischievous tone, she said, "How about this? Call me Senior Sister, and I’ll take you to pick fruit, hehe, how about it?"

Technically, in terms of seniority, Ye Fan was indeed a junior, and he wouldn’t argue such things with a little female disciple. He smiled and addressed, "Senior Sister."

"Ah! Good boy, come on, Senior Sister will take you to pick peaches..."

The little girl was delighted. After all these years at the sect, finally, someone called her Senior Sister, and it happened to be someone "a bit different" from her, making her feel proud. She reached out to hold Ye Fan’s hand, ready to pull him to the back mountain.

"Senior Sister, let go, I can walk on my own." Ye Fan laughed.

"No way, no way. Senior Sisters used to take me out like this, so today, I’m going to be a Senior Sister..."

The little girl didn’t understand the concept of men and women avoiding physical contact. She only knew it was fun and had no hostility towards Ye Fan. To go pick peaches together, she had to show off her "Senior Sister" authority, letting others see she was a Senior Sister now, and could take her little junior brother to the back mountain.
